Dear Members, After a delay in getting a host letter I could not rely on post and went to the Chinese Embassy in Madrid (Spain) last week in person. Despite the information on the website. The urgent one or two day special service has been discontinued. The fastest turn round route available was one week. So I need to send somebody to collect mine tomorrow. (1,200 km round trip) I assume every by now has their visa for Beijing, but if not - dont rely on the urgent service. Best, Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucia.com S.L. Avenida del Carmen 9 Ed.
